The noted designer-artist-architect Johanna Grawunder graduated in architecture in 1983 from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo after attending her final year of studies at its campus in Florence, Italy. She now maintains offices in both Milan and San Francisco. In addition to her work in architecture, she is perhaps most acclaimed for her visionary work in lighting and furniture design, having created collections that embody both limited-edition and one-off studio pieces as well as industrial collaborations with such noted Italian firms as Flos, Boffi, and Salviatti.

Her work has been consistently shown over the years by a large number of important galleries in Europe and the United States, including Gallery Mourmans in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and the Design Gallery Milano in Milan.

Generous support for CCA public programs in San Francisco has been provided by Grants for the Arts / San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.

Thomas Feichtner is a professor for product design at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Germany. He lives and works in Vienna. After attending school in Düsseldorf, Germany, he earned a degree at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz, Austria, Feichtner initially designed industrial goods and numerous products for the Austrian sports industry. He also worked in the area of visual communications for the likes of Swarovski Optik, Adidas Eyewear, and the British-Israeli designer Ron Arad. His later work focused on artistic aspects and took a more experimental approach. In search of an independent mode of operation that went beyond globalization and mass production, he designed products for such traditional crafters as J&L Lobmeyr, Neue Wiener Werkstätten, Wiener Silber Manufactur, Augarten Porzellanmanufaktur and Stamm, and realized freelance projects in cooperation with Vitra and FSB. He has exhibited internationally at the Triennale di Milano, the National Gallery in Prague, the Biennial of Industrial Design in Ljubljana, the Design Center Stuttgart, Gansevoort Gallery in New York, Design Week in Tokyo, and the Museum for Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna.

Katherine Lambert, AIA, IIDA, is a founding principal of Metropolitan Architectural Practice (MAP) in San Francisco. For the past two decades the mutable environment of architecture, design, digital media, sustainable practices, community engagement, digital media, and visual arts has been the nexus of her research and practice. Prior to launching MAP, she was a founding partner of FACE (Forum for Architecture and Cultural Engagement), an architectural firm producing internationally award-winning projects for the private and public sectors. Reflective of the site specificities afforded by California, these projects ranged from urban spaces to ranchscapes. Lambert's work is in the collections of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, the Dia Foundation, Banff Center for the Arts, the Whitney Museum, and the Smithsonian Institute. Lambert was chair of CCA's Interior Design Program from 2004 to 2011, a period during which the program achieved national recognition as one of the best in the United States.
